Rapier Combat

We, the fighters of the canton of Harrowgate Heath, in the eastern fringes of the Barony of Skraeling Althing do hereby cordially invite the Chivalry, fighters, fencers, archers and general populace of the Kingdoms of Ealdormere, the East, and any others that wish to attend, to a day long fighter practice to be held at Lord Micheal Eastbrooke's farm in Monkland, Ontario on Saturday September the 29, 2012.

There should be lots of fencing with well-known instructors such as Viscount Eirik (ODS) & King Paul with his famous long sword class. Fencing will be possible indoors with suitable footwear with non-marking soles - please keep this in mind when packing your gear!

Join Alderford once again as we meet in Roswell to hone our expertise in all things melee. Enjoy a relaxing weekend of family activities including rapier and armored combat, plenty of archery, classes, and bardic activities well into the evening.
